This should be very interesting indeed.

Thanks Paul

If you were a real Cynic you'd say that he was doing this project

1) To do something Arty

2) To do something Credible

3) To do something Lucrative

4) To do something Easy

Hey Ardent,

you can get this for me on my next b-day...

HOUSE: Why are you suspicious?

WILSON: Because it's either that or accept the fact that you've done something nice and then I have to deal with the horsemen and the rain of fire and the end of days.

Wonder if he'll copy TV and have a book signing on 11th?

I bet he will not need to borrow J73's discman

New Bowie Book. wewww, slick!
I hope it has a hard book sleeve
and an anthology of of his back catalog.
It would be handy to have, so that you could
easily listen to old stuff from the nineteen
and seventies that might be hard to get a hold of.
.... Maybe even an interview; and a Christmas song
with Bing Crosby. Bob Dylan's book was really good.
I hope this is something like that.

Maybe it's that Pop-up book by JamesD



Bowie Bash at the Roundhouse!

a holographic pup-up book.
Now that's somethin' to shoot for!

"Help me Bowi-Wan, you are our only hope!"

Bowie Bash at the Roundhouse!

One of the earliest uses of a hologram in Science-fiction was in the film "The Man Who Fell to Earth", made in 1976 director Nicholas Roeg, starring David Bowie as an alien from outer space.
Throughout the film we get brief glimpses of the alien's family left behind on their desert world. In one shot we see his wife holding up a multiplex hologram. The action is cut in with a shot of Bowie on Earth, taking family snaps with a camera. The correlation is clear: the hologram is the family photo of the future. This is a rare use of holography in film, because although the context is purest science fiction, the hologram is genuine and the depiction of holography is authentic.

LOL ! and Thanks, Dr, for the reminder!

Bowie Bash at the Roundhouse!

Finally! That's only 7 months away.

The title does not sound personal though. Sounds like a telling of his professional work.

...I turned myself to face me but I never caught a glimpse

Really how long does it take to write
100 pages?? a week? Two?
(provided there are about 30 pics)

The "project he's been refering to is raising
his daughter.
Now get her into a proper school and make some music
(good for you, it will be)

But seems a thing worth waiting for.(this book)
As for N.Pegg, he can alway release a new edition,
analyzing this other book.


cheers

.....the vault is slowly opening(not David's though)

have been looking at his work, it's beautiful, a true artist

- God is on top of it -

I just received an email from David himself apparently, promoting the SM release.

I was amazed to read that he officially has joined facebook !!
Could it be that finally the man is gearing up after the 5-year sabbatical ?

Now, THIS has put a smile on my face. I really laughed at JamesD. Poor Nick. No need to write Bowie books now.

I am definitely looking forward to this new project.

 

BTW- I started a blog. I don't know why, I haven't got the time to write. (I'm not semi-retired like someone we know) But, if anyone is interested... www.Fantastykvoyage.blogspot.com

1958 - 20??
Live Your Dash!

This has got to be good news if it comes off, the question is can he remember everything? by his own admission certain parts of his life are a drug induced haze.

Good news though! and will make a change from the usual rubbish we have had to put up with these last few years.

Now we just need to hear there is decent David Bowie album in the pipeline

Great news I always wanted to read a book by David Bowie
so I'm really looking forward to this. I guess it will be
sort of like getting liner notes from some of the albums by the artist?

Found this old article, a good "resume" for David ...

an autobiography.... Collaboration obviously means talking about the photo sessions over the years with Ock 3

Boy, you're really hooked on water, aren't you?

Don't be cheeky! What do ya own the place?

<< an autobiography.... Collaboration obviously means talking about the photo sessions over the years with Ock 3 >>

He could have been writing a book about all his collaborations with music producers, other music artists etc not an autobiography as such, but a hell of a lot more interesting than writing a dedicated book about a bunch of photos.

Oh well! an opportunity missed then

As Bowie himself admitted " I tell lies. It's what I do."

I'm looking forward to the book by Tony DeFries more than I am to Bowies.

Mist.

Curious to see it. He has a nice style of writing. He tends to go off on amusing tangents but it's well crafted all the same.
